The graphics are criticized for low-resolution textures and poor upscaling, featuring simplistic black-and-white visuals. Character models, such as furries and puppies, appear as flat 2D cutouts rather than fully rendered 3D figures.
- “Low resolution textures with terrible upscaling, black and white graphics, the furries and the puppies are just 2D cutouts turning towards you.”
